If someone claimed they could fight well, that thirty to forty people were no problem for them, he would definitely say, "Can you die if you don't brag?"

But now...

Yuan Jiang looked at the scene before him, his entire body chilled.

The sounds of wailing reached his ears, filling him with an indescribable dread.

He looked at Lin Fan, standing tall, exceptionally handsome, and outstanding in demeanor, and felt like he was dreaming.

No, the subordinates he brought were so easily defeated.

Fighting thirty to forty people alone, and not only being fine but also beating them all down – this was something he couldn't accept.

"A dream, I must be dreaming."

Yuan Jiang rubbed his eyes and involuntarily slapped himself twice. The crisp sounds of the slaps were loud, and as the pain hit, he instantly understood this wasn't a dream, it was real.

"Who else?"

Lin Fan panted slightly, roaring angrily as he looked at Yuan Jiang, "Is this all you've got? Where are the experts? Aren't there any experts?"

Up to this point.

He was only a little tired, but if he had to continue fighting, he still could. Even if another twenty to thirty people showed up, it wouldn't be a problem.

Where was his limit?

He didn't know. His body hadn't reached its limit yet. He truly yearned for an expert who could push him to the brink, but unfortunately, Yuan Jiang before him didn't know any such experts.

At this moment, Yuan Jiang's mind was a mess. He knew Lin Fan could fight, but he never expected him to be this capable.

Damn it.

Was this even human?

Yuan Jiang wanted to run, but his damned legs were numb and wouldn't obey his commands. Even though he desperately tried to move, he only managed to shuffle half a step.

The commotion here was too great.

The common folk in the shantytown heard the noise. Some brave souls peeked out, wanting to see how things would end, but when they witnessed this scene with their own eyes, they were all stunned in place, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Lin Fan walked towards Yuan Jiang. As he got closer, Yuan Jiang felt his heart tremble uncontrollably, filled with an indescribable fear.

"Lin, Lin Fan, what do you want?"

Yuan Jiang's face was ashen, and he was truly starting to panic.

He had thought he could take down Lin Fan using a numbers advantage, but he never expected this outcome.

As a Hall Master, he was afraid, but he absolutely couldn't back down. Otherwise, if this got out, where would Yuan Jiang's reputation go?

"You."

He wanted to push Yuan Jiang to the extreme, to make Yuan Jiang find experts by any means necessary. If he could truly find experts, then he could touch upon the Martial Way.

Just as he was about to reach Yuan Jiang and humiliate him severely, an urgent shout came from afar.

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin..."

Steward Li came rushing over. When he reached Lin Fan, he bent over, holding his side, and gasped for air. Having learned of the situation, he hadn't dared to delay for a moment.

Seeing the gang members groaning and crying all over the ground, he had a deeper understanding of how capable Lin Fan was.

This was simply too formidable.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Fan's attitude was cold, lacking his usual warmth, appearing very distant. This made Steward Li's heart leap with joy.

That's right, this was the attitude he wanted.

Yuan Jiang had to take the blame for this, no matter what.

Steward Li was still very anxious. He then looked at Yuan Jiang and said angrily, "Yuan Jiang, what do you think you're doing? Brother Lin is my good friend, my sworn brother. How could you do something like this? Do you know you're damaging the relationship between Brother Lin and me?"

After speaking, he immediately appeased Lin Fan.

"Brother Lin, it's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding. Please don't let him affect our relationship."

Steward Li tried his best to show that he wanted to mend their broken relationship.

He was doing this for the Gang Leader to see. The Gang Leader was secretly watching from not far away. At the same time, he was frantically making eye contact with Lin Fan.

Lin Fan noticed Steward Li's gaze and glanced to the side, where he seemed to see a familiar face. He suddenly remembered that it was Sun Xiao, the Gang Leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang!

The man wasn't showing his face, clearly observing.

During this time, he had been freeloading off Steward Li and knew that the man wanted to win him over. The mastermind behind this was undoubtedly Sun Xiao. Of course, Steward Li wasn't stupid; he must have realized that Lin Fan was bringing his own brothers to eat and drink for free.

But neither side had explicitly stated it.

After all, Steward Li was also benefiting.

Now, Steward Li kept mentioning his relationship with Lin Fan, the meaning of which was clear: to shift the reason why he couldn't win Lin Fan over onto Yuan Jiang.

With that thought, Lin Fan instantly understood.

"Hmph, Steward Li, is this how your Fierce Tiger Gang operates? Yuan Jiang killed someone, and you want my brother to take the blame for him. My brother refused, so you called people to beat me. Fine, fine, very fine."

"I, Lin Fan, wasn't scared into this. Whatever tricks your Fierce Tiger Gang has, bring them on."

Lin Fan's voice was loud, ensuring everyone present could hear.

Especially Sun Xiao.

"Oh dear, Brother Lin, please calm down. This is truly a misunderstanding."

Steward Li really wanted to applaud Lin Fan. Yes, this was exactly right. As expected of Brother Lin, you understood with just one look. I know you're difficult to win over, but as long as we can keep up this act, there will be plenty of opportunities to benefit from you later.

"A misunderstanding? I don't think this is a misunderstanding at all," Lin Fan said.

Steward Li kept exclaiming "Oh dear," glaring at Yuan Jiang. "Look at the mess you've made. Aren't you going to apologize to Brother Lin immediately?"

Yuan Jiang, who had been stunned in place, snapped back to reality. Seeing Steward Li dare to scold him, he roared angrily, "Hey Li, are you out of your damn mind? You want me to apologize to him? Let me tell you, don't think you can run wild in front of me just because the Hall Master trusts you. In my eyes, you're just a dog."

"What did you say?"

Steward Li was furious. While Yuan Jiang was technically correct, saying it so bluntly was another matter entirely.

"You're just the Hall Master's dog."

"You, you..."

Steward Li pointed at Yuan Jiang furiously, his finger trembling violently.

But inwardly, he was overjoyed.

Just like this.

If you have something to say, keep talking. I'll do my best to show that I'm trying to mend relations with Brother Lin, while you, Yuan Jiang, keep disrupting things. I need the Hall Master to see this.

It's not that I failed to win him over, but that you, Yuan Jiang, have completely offended Brother Lin.

Yuan Jiang glared at Lin Fan. "Hey Lin, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you can fight. I have plenty of ways to deal with you. Our feud is settled today. You just wait and see."

After speaking, Yuan Jiang tried to slip away.

A wise man knows when to retreat. Throwing out a few harsh words to save face was enough.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he'd be beaten severely.

His own men were gone. If they really beat him, he doubted anyone could stop them.

"Wait and see? No need to wait. Right now."

Lin Fan kicked Yuan Jiang, who was turning to leave, sending him sprawling to the ground. With a yelp from Yuan Jiang, Lin Fan picked up a wooden stick and began to rain blows down on him.

Instantly, screams filled the air.

Steward Li inwardly rejoiced, but still called out in a feigned attempt to dissuade him.

"Brother Lin, stop, please stop."

Sun Xiao, standing not far away, watched the scene with a frown. He didn't intervene, but instead turned his gaze to the fallen gang members. He began to count them, and was shocked by the number.

Good heavens, thirty-eight people.

This strength is truly terrifying.

We must win him over.

And Yuan Jiang deserved to be beaten. Although he was the Hall Master, several of the Hall Masters under him, as their followers grew, had started to develop their own ambitions.

Sometimes, a good lesson needed to be taught.

Seeing Yuan Jiang screaming under the relentless assault of the stick, Sun Xiao couldn't help but chuckle. Whether it was from amusement or exasperation, he just felt like laughing.
